[@joelmacdonald6994]

I normally don't even know where to begin when I'm watching these, but as soon as you mentioned the split, I knew exactly what was going on. I knew you'd have to find an orientation of the nuts that had no threads. But, to be fair, I'm a machinist and made threads regularly for a living, and I'm used to seeing things that have to be "timed" a certain way. Really cool puzzle, good job. Now I want to make one myself.

[@DoodlyDoo59210]

you won't read this comment, but the puzzle is actually easy now that you've seen it taken apart. if you look at the bolts when they're disassembled, one side is wide and the other side is narrow. two of the seams on the outside are fake seams. so there is really just a sweet spot, but if you can figure out the orientation with the nuts being close to the heads of the bolts, it will slide apart every time. luckily imperfections in metal casting and CNC make it easy to feel for the play. just like lock picking.

[@JRCOWBOY78]

You actually stopped the timer at 29:35 and 53 sec. Your awesome man either way, got my daughter watching the vids and trying out some level 1 puzzles lol. 👍

[@RossDM]

You have to get this one EXACTLY in the right spot. Even when you think you've got it right, you doubt yourself because it has to be so perfect in its positioning. Very clever with it being small enough not to slide all the way apart in one go though.

[@love.wildly.live.fearlessly]

These videos are amazing at putting everything to sleep I have slight ocd and watching this gives me anxiety but the solutions give me such calmness that I can just drift off to sleep

[@love.wildly.live.fearlessly]

Alex_ Icestaff No I don’t mean OCPD (obsessive compulsive personality disorder) I mean OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) here’s the difference- OCPD is not as strong as one would think. OCPD is defined as the preoccupation with perfectionism, orderliness, and control. Individuals with OCPD tend to be inflexible and rigid. They pay extreme attention to details and rules so much so that it can interfere with their ability to complete a task. They become so excessively devoted to work and being 'productive,' that they neglect their friends and family. Their preoccupation leaves little room for recreational or leisurely pursuits. OCD- I have these issues-- Compulsions are repetitive behaviors that a person with OCD feels the urge to do in response to an obsessive thought. Common compulsions include: Excessive cleaning and/or handwashing Ordering and arranging things in a particular, precise way Repeatedly checking on things, such as repeatedly checking to see if the door is locked or that the oven is off

Interlocking clue was really good. Took me like 5 mins to understand what the hell was happening and like 1 hour taking it apart because for some reason I thought the nuts aligned with the main "cracks". I got the concept of taking it apart and put it together really quickly but then took me fucking ages to get it right because of the misalignment they have to unlock it. Pissed me off so much...

If you've done any sort of machining or have experience with making nuts and bolts you could get this. Honestly within the first couple minutes of watching just with the lines in the threads and the solved view I had it figured out.
